PREPAREDNESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE LEARNING CENTERS (PERLC)

描述(由申请人提供)：基于15年来成功的教育和培训合作，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校(UAB)公共卫生学院作为主要提交机构，与杜兰大学(TU)公共卫生热带医学院(TU)根据疾病控制和预防中心、资助机会准备和紧急反应学习中心(PERLC)合作协议，共同提出南方中央准备和紧急反应学习中心(SCPERLC)。彼得·金特博士(UAB)担任首席调查员，安·安德森(Ann Anderson)博士(TU)担任联席首席调查员。 SCPERLC为制定和提供基于准备和应急能力的培训和合作伙伴要求的培训提供了一个连贯的框架，这些培训将提高知识、技能和能力；改善准备和反应绩效；并改善阿拉巴马州、路易斯安那州和密西西比州、阿拉巴马州克里克印第安人的波阿奇乐队和乔克托印第安人的密西西比州的准备和应急工作人员与培训相关的成果。这一愿景是通过由SCPERLC调查人员和评估员制定的全面准备培训系统模式和培训发展指南实现的，该指南提供了共同的培训理念，并将基于核心能力的教育和培训与合作伙伴要求的教育和培训无缝结合。此外，该模型还为计划核心和网络活动所需的基础设施、资源和活动提供了方向。 《备灾培训系统模式》和《培训发展指南》特别适用于培训备灾和应急工作人员，因为它们确保培训以能力为基础，并依赖于经验丰富的合作伙伴的投入。 拟议的基于能力的培训工作计划和合作伙伴要求的培训工作计划基于公共卫生准备和反应核心能力、综合评估和培训需求评估以及2010年总体计划评估，并辅之以与SCPERLC合作伙伴的培训需求重点小组。这些评估结果的轻重缓急为SCPERLC的第一年培训奠定了基础。因此，第一年将包括许多不同的基于需求评估和合作伙伴要求的课程和其他教育机会。为此，SCPERLC建议不仅大幅增加对现有96个SCCPHP培训的参与，还将创建三个新的在线课程、四个新的卫星培训(这些培训也将被存档，以供今后自动开放获取)，并将召开一次大型会议，以促进儿科灾害应急能力的继续发展和交流。此外，还将开展许多合作伙伴要求的活动。例如，将开展以墨西哥湾沿岸(我们所有伙伴国)为重点的国家卫星广播，以协助传播从应对最近墨西哥湾漏油事件的环境卫生对策中吸取的经验教训；将举行部落间公共卫生应急规划会议和一系列业务连续性规划讲习班，以支持我们的部落伙伴。此外，SCPERLC将协助其伙伴国进行演习和演习，从桌面到国家一级的演习。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drawing upon over 15 years of successful education and training collaboration, the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), as primary submitting institution, and the School of Public Health Tropical Medicine at Tulane University (TU) collaboratively propose the South Central Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Center (SCPERLC) in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, funding opportunity Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Centers (PERLC) Cooperative Agreement. Peter M. Ginter, Ph.D. (UAB) serves as Principal Investigator and Ann Anderson, Ph.D. (TU) serves as Co-Principal Investigator. The SCPERLC provides a coherent framework for developing and delivering preparedness and emergency response competency-based and partner-requested training that will improve knowledge, skills and abilities; improve preparedness and response performance; and result in improved training-related outcomes for the preparedness and emergency response workforce in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, the Poarch Band of the Creek Indians of Alabama and Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. This vision is accomplished through a Comprehensive Preparedness Training System Model and Training Development Guide, developed by SCPERLC investigators and evaluators, which provide a common training philosophy and seamless integration of core competency-based and partner-requested education and training. Further the model provides direction for required infrastructure, resources, and activities for program core and network activities. The Preparedness Training System Model and Training Development Guide are particularly applicable to training the preparedness and emergency response workforce because they ensure that training is competency based and relies on input from practiced based partners. The proposed competency-based and partner-requested training work plans are based on the Public Health Preparedness and Response Core Competencies, comprehensive evaluation and training needs assessment, and 2010 overall program evaluation supplemented with training needs focus groups with SCPERLC partners. Prioritization of the results of these assessments provided the basis for year-one training of the SCPERLC. Accordingly, year one will consist of many different needs assessment based and partner requested courses and other educational opportunities. To this end the SCPERLC proposes to not only significantly increase participation in 96 existing SCCPHP trainings, but also to create three new online courses, four new satellite trainings (which will also be archived for future automated open access), and will convene a major conference to facilitate the continued development and communication of pediatric disaster surge capacity. In addition, numerous partners requested activities will be conducted. As examples, a national satellite broadcast, focused on the gulf coast (all of our partner States), will be conducted to assist with disseminating lessons learned from the environmental health response to the recent oil release in the Gulf of Mexico; an inter-tribal public health emergency planning conference and a series of continuity of operations planning workshops will be conducted to support our tribal partners. Additionally, the SCPERLC will assist its partner States in drills and exercises, ranging from tabletop tops to a National level Exercise.
